  • If you haven’t seen Lustre yet-don’t miss out! Here is just a small glimpse of some of the beautiful items on display. A set of early 1900s pearl-skinning tools, an intricately carved Japanese dragon and a beautiful pearl and turtle shell butterfly from the West Kimberley. This exhibition beautifully and thoughtfully intertwines the history, science and social/cultural aspects of the pearling industry in Australia. Included in general admission and open daily 10am to 5pm. #samaritimemuseum #wamuseum #broome #lustre #pearls
